Pecan oil

Pecan oil (CAS 129893-27-2), cold-pressed or expeller-pressed from Carya illinoinensis nuts, is a light culinary and cosmetic carrier oil valued for its mild flavor profile and skin-compatible fatty acid composition.

It competes directly with other premium nut oils in both food manufacturing and personal care formulation channels. In food production, it functions as a finishing oil, salad dressing base, and high-end cooking oil.

Cosmetic and personal care formulators use it as a carrier oil in facial serums, moisturizers, and hair conditioners. Its light skin feel supports fast absorption without heavy residue in professional skincare applications.

Industrial coatings and alkyd resin manufacturers source this oil as a drying oil component. It leverages its unsaturated fatty acid content to contribute effectively to film formation in various industrial processes.

In adhesive and sealant formulations, it can serve as a bio-based plasticizing or lubricating agent. This is particularly useful where renewable-content specifications are required for sustainable manufacturing projects.

The material is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid, available in food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications. Food-grade material is typically produced to FCC or equivalent industry standards.

Cosmetic-grade supply follows ISO 16128 natural origin criteria in many global markets. Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with smaller pack sizes available for specialty formulation and pilot testing.
